Brick Miner Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 this may seem like a simple one... but im looking for 1x16 brown (old brown) bricks, in new (or near new) condition. this piece is actually pretty rare though, as it was never offered in any LEGO sets. it was available through BL sellers a year or so ago, but now all that is left are 2 in "used" condition. the description of "normal playwear" probably means it doesn't meet my condition requirements. not sure what a piece of this rarity goes for, 5 bucks each sound good ??? or make me an offer ;-) i'd take 5 or 6. - BrickMiner also, if anyone has any leads on where to find these "special color" pieces (i.e. pieces in colors not offered in official LEGO sets) please let me know !!! other than BL of course ;-)
Dark Brick Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Hey BM. If you have a picture of what you are looking for exactly that would help. Then I can look through my stuff. Let me know. DB
Starwars4J Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I believe he's talking about this: In old brown. If anyone knows where to get rare-colored parts other than bricklink, I'd also be very interested!
Brick Miner Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 yes, it seems like a simple request... a 1x16 brick. but when its in a color LEGO never released in a set... it gets tricky. -------------------------------------------------- you know it really frustrating, when you are trying to build in a LEGOesque style.... there are so many elements that you know LEGO could have easily molded to fill the need of a set. the 1x16 brown is one that comes to mind, and is preventing me from achieving the LEGO style of building in my MOCs. there are so many times i go to BL to see how much a piece will cost me, and i end up finding the piece doesn't even exist !!! and because of the color switch, if the piece im looking for is brown or gray... it will never exist >:-( -------------------------------------------------- thanks for taking the time DB !!! - BM
Dark Brick Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Hi Brick Miner- Sorry pal, but no dice on that size. The longest I have is 1x10 in old brown. I buy so much LEGO sometimes in bulk, but even this piece eludes me. I guess you would have to be right in saying that this is definitely the rarest of rare pieces. Although if you are ever in the need of anything else look me up and who knows, I may just have what you are looking for. ;-) Oh and in case your are curious, I would take $3 max for each of those as I know how hard it is to get certain pieces, but that should not mean that you have to take out a second mortgage on the house just to buy it. Cheers!

Cheers! Well, you wouldn't have it in your collection anyway! Unless you had already bought it from Ebay or Bricklink ;-) This piece was never made available in any Lego set.
